Some Looted Iraqi Antiquities Recovered - As Others Disappear
"Gold earrings made for an Assyrian queen, a sacred 4,000-year-old statue, and 540 other looted pieces of Iraq's ancient history were formally returned to Iraq on Monday … [But] a previous shipment of 632 stolen pieces recovered in the US [went] missing after being delivered to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's office last year."
